Deadwood Falls Waterfall in Oilmont, Montana
Deadwood Falls in Montana offers a fairly quick and accessible hike from the Gunsite Pass Trailhead. While the falls themselves are pretty, the real highlight lies upstream with a narrow gorge and several smaller, picturesque falls. The crystal-clear water reveals stunning rock formations at the bottom of the creek, adding to the natural beauty of the area. Though some may find the falls a bit small, it's worth noting that St. Mary’s Falls nearby is often considered a more impressive sight.
